A face only a mother could love (SOLVED!)

[Xaquin]

It's kind of ugly and I have no clue what it is or what it's made of. It -seemed- to be rusty, but the 'rust' washed off to reveal a metal that doesn't seem to be rusty, but doesn't look to be silver either. Maybe Pewter?

The place I got it from was built in the late 1800s and abandoned (I think) in the 1960s or 70s

That's a very attractive Egyptian Revival piece if I am correct in my thinking.

Yes, I agree, but the queston is, which revival??

Notice the head side is obviously Asian, more like IndoChina due to a wider flat nose. Could be made out of ivory. Notice the other side the two are "shaking arms" in friendship. They each are holding the others forearm. She is nude, he is partially nude. Cannot make out his face and/or headdress.

I happened to get one of the words right in a GIS which lead me to another and another search. The 4th search had all the answers =)
